As if By Magic

On my last day in Pittsburg, KS, I interviewed Andy and Pat Mason of “As If By Magic” at their office suite which also includes a massage therapist, reflexologist and reiki practitioner. Andy chose the name for his business based upon his childhood delight in a television program called, Mr. Benn(sp?), (a TV program in the UK) who frequently disappeared from view to put on a different costume and “as if by magic” became a new character. In his experience using EFT (www.emofree.com; www.as-if-by-magic.com) with clients has shifted chronic negative behavior patterns (addictions, phobias, depression, low self esteem, etc) through the use of this tapping technique in a magical way – resulting in deep and long lasting changes. Also an experienced NLP practitioner and strategic attraction coach Andy has been providing services to clients individually and in groups for the past 6 years. He has recently developed a new program “Unzipping your Fat Suit” designed to uncover, release and transform the emotional issues blocking one’s ability to shed weight and reclaim a healthy body. This is based upon his personal growth and training – he has recently released over 103#’s (since 11/1/07) and has worked steadily on the emotional issues that have resulted in the excess weight and prevented him from being at his perfect weight in the past. He is a firm believer in making lifestyle changes – not dieting (diets don’t work) and has incorporated daily exercise with the use of Isagenix products to assist in his total transformation. Andy is truly a shining lighthouse of inspiration – especially in the area of emotional recovery and spiritual growth!

Pat, his wife, is an elementary language arts teacher in Parsons, KS, and a passionate feng shui consultant. Raised in a fairly traditional, conservative and religious background the philosophy of feng shui has led Pat to reclaim her natural abilities as an energy worker and share these talents with others. Interestingly enough some of her relatives have had known abilities as “water witches” (dowsing) which is a very acceptable method for farmers to locate the best locations for drilling wells on their land.

Yesterday morning I had a reflexology session with one of their partners, Becky Smith, who is also a gifted healer. This treatment confirmed my commitment to receive bodywork sessions at least every 2 weeks to help my body, mind, and spirit integrate the traveling and interviewing process. Speaking of which I am on way today to Unity Village, world headquarters of Unity Church, for 5 days of personal retreat. Unity is 15 miles south of Kansas City so I may also take the opportunity to checkout this Midwestern city.
